I am due to start chemo for bowel and liver cancer on the 9th Sep. I already have some neuropathy in my feet due to diabetes.
My oncologist has warned me that it might get worse, but didn't go into much detail as to what 'worse' meant.
So im looking for advice from anyone who is/has been in a similar situation and can be a bit more descriptive as to what to expect.
Should I invest in buying the cold gloves & socks?
Thanks
